Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.

I know, I know, using Google apps isn't the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.

Apparently they're moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren't implemented yet.

I've moved over to an app from F-Droid.

I just ignore any new Google service these days. Unreliability isn't even as much of a concern as privacy.

Google music, Google+, Google Spaces, they even killed Google Cache recently - which was a fantastic way to get around my work's brain-dead decision to block the company (including IT) from reaching Reddit.

You would think with the further advancement of humanity, with or without technology we would have more reason to cache and archive things out there whether it's by the written word of paper, the internet or via our phone cameras.

Maybe try Redlib for accessing Reddit. You can also use LibRedirect to automatically redirect Reddit links.

Alternatively, use this guide to create a Cloudflare proxy for any website you want to visit that is blocked
